Roobab U, Chen BR, Madni GM, Tong ZG, Zeng XA, Abdi G, Hussain S, Aadil RM. Evaluation of ultrasound and pulsed electric field combinations on the cooking Losses, texture Profile, and Taste-Related amino acids of chicken breast meat. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 107:106919. [PMID: 38795569 PMCID: PMC11144803 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106919] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024]
Abstract
The search to improve the quality of meat while maintaining its nutritional value and flavor profile has driven the investigation of emerging clean-label non-thermal technologies in the field of meat processing. Ultrasound (US) and pulsed electric field (PEF) treatments have emerged as promising tools for producing high-quality meat products. This study investigated the combined effects of ultrasound and PEF on chicken breast meat quality, focusing on cooking loss, texture, and taste-related amino acids. Ultrasound (24.5 kHz, 300 W, 10 min) combined with PEF for 30 s (1.6, 3.3, and 5.0 kV/cm as US + PEF 1, US + PEF 3, and US + PEF 5, respectively) significantly reduced cooking losses (up to 28.78 %), potentially improving the product yield. Although US + PEF significantly (p < 0.05) affected pH, particularly at a higher PEF intensity (5 kV/cm), the overall color appearance of the treated meat remained unchanged. The combined treatments resulted in a tenderizing effect and decreased meat hardness, adhesiveness, and chewiness. Interestingly, US + PEF with increasing PEF intensity (1.6 to 5.0 kV/cm) led to a gradual increase in taste-related amino acids (aspartic acid, glutamic acid, etc.), potentially enhancing flavor. FTIR spectra revealed alterations in protein and lipid structures following treatment, suggesting potential modifications in meat quality. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed significant changes in the texture and structure of US + PEF-treated meat, depicting structural disruptions. Furthermore, Pearson's correlation analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) revealed a clear relationship between the physicochemical characteristics, free amino acids, color, and texture attributes of chicken meat. By optimizing treatment parameters, US + PEF could offer a novel approach to improve chicken breast meat quality.

Abstract
The combined application of electric fields and ultrasonic waves has shown promise in controlling cell membrane permeability, potentially resulting in synergistic effects that can be explored in the biotechnology industry. However, further clarification on how these processes interact is still needed. The objective of the present study was to investigate the atomic-scale effects of these processes on a DPPC lipid bilayer using molecular dynamics simulations. For higher electric fields, capable of independently forming pores, the application of an ultrasonic wave in the absence of cavitation yielded no additional effects on pore formation. However, for lower electric fields, the reduction in bilayer thickness induced by the shock wave catalyzed the electroporation process, effectively shortening the mean path that water molecules must traverse to form pores. When cavitation was considered, synergistic effects were evident only if the wave alone was able to generate pores through the formation of a water nanojet. In these cases, sonoporation acted as a mean to focus the electroporation effects on the initial pore formed by the nanojet. This study contributes to a better understanding of the synergy between electric fields and ultrasonic waves and to an optimal selection of processing parameters in practical applications of these processes.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in using insects as a sustainable resource for biorefinery processes. This emerging field aims to convert insect biomass into valuable products while minimizing waste. The integration of emerging green technologies and the efficient extraction of high-value compounds from insects offer promising avenues for addressing the growing demand for sustainable food production and resource utilization. The review examines the impact of dietary modifications on the nutritional profile of insects. It highlights the potential for manipulating insect feed to optimize protein quality, amino acid profile, lipid content and fatty acid composition. Additionally, innovative green processing technologies such as ultrasound, high pressure processing, pulsed electric fields, cold plasma and enzymatic hydrolysis are discussed for their ability to enhance the extraction and techno-functional properties of insect-based ingredients. The review finds that dietary modifications can impact the nutritional composition of insects, allowing the customization of their nutrient content. By optimizing the insect feed, it is possible to increase the quantity and improve the quality of essential nutrients like proteins or lipids in the derived ingredients. Moreover, alternative processing technologies can improve the techno-functional properties (e.g., solubility, water and oil holding capacities, among others) of insect-based ingredients by modifying proteins' conformation. By harnessing these strategies, researchers and industry professionals can unlock the full potential of insects as a sustainable and nutritional food source, paving the way for innovative insect-based food products.

Abstract
Drying is a key processing step for plant-based foods. The quality of dried products, including the physical, nutritional, microbiological, and sensory attributes, is influenced by the drying method used. Conventional drying technologies have low efficiency and can negatively affect product quality. Recently, pulsed electric field (PEF)-assisted techniques are being explored as a novel pretreatment for drying. This review focuses on the application of PEF as pretreatment for drying plant-based products, the preservation effects of this pretreatment, and its underlying mechanisms. A literature search revealed that PEF-assisted drying is beneficial for maintaining the physicochemical properties of the dried products and preserving their color and constituent chemical compounds. PEF-assisted drying promotes rehydration and improves the kinetics of drying. Unlike conventional technologies, PEF-assisted drying enables selective cell disintegration while maintaining product quality. Before the drying process, PEF pretreatment inactivates microbes and enzymes and controls respiratory activity, which may further contribute to preservation. Despite numerous advantages, the efficiency and applicably of PEF-assisted drying can be improved in the future.

Abstract
Pulsed electric field (PEF) technology enables the extraction of food pigments at lower temperatures. PEF process intensification may reduce the extraction yield depending on the plant matrix. Coupling PEF with other emerging technologies is a smart strategy to extract natural pigments. The application of PEF technology in natural food pigment extraction still requires further studies.
Coloring compounds are widely applied to manufacturing foods and beverages. The worldwide food market is replacing artificial colorants with natural alternatives, given the increased consumer demand for natural products. However, these substitutes are still an issue due to their high production cost and low chemical and physical stability. Furthermore, natural pigments are highly sensitive to processes applied in conventional extraction techniques, such as thermal, mechanical, and chemical stresses. In this regard, pulsed electric field (PEF) technology has emerged as a promising non-thermal alternative for recovering and producing natural colorings from food matrices. Its action mechanism on cell structures through the electroporation effect is a smart alternative to overcoming the challenging issues associated with producing natural colorants. In this scenario, this review provides an overview of the PEF assisted extraction of natural pigments and colorants, such as anthocyanins (red-blue-purple), betalains (red), carotenoids (yellow-orange-red), and chlorophylls (green) from plant sources. Moreover, the potential and limitations of this emerging technology to integrate the extraction process of natural colorants were discussed.

Abstract
Food safety and food waste have always been hot topics of discussion in recent years. However, the infection of human pathogenic bacteria and the waste of food resources caused by microbial-contaminated food remains common. Although traditional sterilization technology has been very mature, it causes changes in food flavor and excessive energy consumption to a certain extent. Moreover, the widespread bacterial resistance has also sounded a warning for researchers and finding a new alternative to antibiotics is urgently needed. The application of sonodynamic sterilization technology in medical treatment has aroused the interest of researchers. It provides ideas for new food sterilization technology. As a new non-thermal sterilization technology, sonodynamic sterilization technology has strong penetration, safety, less residue and by-products, and will less change the quality of the food itself. Therefore, sonodynamic sterilization technology has great potential applied in food sterilization technology. This review describes the concept of sonodynamic sterilization technology, the sterilization mechanism of sonodynamic sterilization and the inactivation mechanism of various pathogens, the classification and application of sonosensitizers, and the ultrasonic technology in sonodynamic sterilization in the application over the recent years. It provides a scientific reference for the application of sonodynamic sterilization technology in the field of food sterilization.

Abstract
We propose the application of pulsed electric fields (PEF) to carrots to obtain derived products with increased phenolic and carotenoid bioaccessibility. For this purpose, juices, purees, and oil-added purees were obtained from whole PEF-treated carrots (five pulses of 3.5 kV cm-1; 0.61 kJ kg-1). In order to obtain shelf-stable products, the effect of a thermal treatment (70 °C for 10 min) was also studied. Carrot juices exhibited the highest carotenoid (43.4 mg/100 g fresh weight) and phenolic (322 mg kg-1 dry weight) contents. However, caffeic and coumaric acid derivatives were highly sensitive to PEF. The phenolic bioaccessibility reached 100% in purees obtained from the PEF-treated carrots, whereas the further thermally treated oil-added purees exhibited the greatest carotenoid bioaccessibility (7.8%). The increase in carotenoid bioaccessibility could be related to their better release and solubilization into micelles. The results suggest that food matrix aspects apart from particle size (e.g., pectin characteristics) are involved in phenolic bioaccessibility.

Abstract
Phenolic compounds (PC) and carotenoids from carrots are bound to dietary fibre or stored in vacuoles and chromoplasts, respectively. To exert their antioxidant effects these compounds must be released during digestion, which is hindered by such barriers. Pulsed electric fields (PEF) modify cell membrane permeability, thus enhancing their bioaccessibility. The effect of PEF on the carrot carotenoid and PC content and bioaccessibility was investigated. With this purpose, PEF-treated carrots (5 pulses of 3.5 kV cm-1) were stored for 24 h at 4 °C and microstructure was evaluated before subjecting them to in vitro digestion. PEF did not affect carotenoid content, whereas their bioaccessibility improved (11.9%). Likewise, PEF increased the content of some PC, e.g. coumaric acid (163.2%), probably caused by their better extractability. Conversely, caffeic acid derivatives decreased, which may be associated to greater contact with oxidative enzymes. Total PC bioaccessibility (20.8%) and some derivatives increased, e.g. caffeoylshikimic (68.9%), whereas some decreased (e.g. ferulic acid). Structural changes caused by PEF may improve bioaccessibility of carotenoids and PC by favouring their release and easy access to digestive enzymes. However, other antioxidants may be further degraded or entrapped during digestion. Therefore, PEF is an effective technology for obtaining carrots with enhanced carotenoids and phenolic bioaccessibility.

Abstract
Freeze-drying is one of the most expensive and most energy intensive processes applied in food technology. Therefore, there have been significant efforts to reduce the freeze-drying time and decrease its energy consumption. The aim of this work was to analyze the effect of pulsed electric field (PEF), ultrasound (US), and hybrid treatment (PEF-US) and compare them with the effect of blanching (BL) on the freeze-drying kinetics, energy consumption, greenhouse gasses emission, and physical quality of the product. The freeze-drying process was applied to red bell peppers after pretreatment operations. Results showed that application of BL, PEF, US, or PEF-US reduces freeze-drying time and decreases energy consumption. Among the tested methods, the combination of PEF performed at 1 kJ/kg and US was the most effective in reduction of greenhouse gas emission. BL samples exhibited the highest porosity, but from a statistical point of view, most of the PEF-US treated materials did not differ from it. The smallest color changes were noted for US pre-treated bell peppers (ΔE = 9.4), whereas BL, PEF, and PEF-US material was characterized by ΔE of 15.2–28.5. Performed research indicates the application of pre-treatment may improve the sustainability of freeze-drying process and quality of freeze-dried bell pepper.

Abstract
It has been demonstrated previously in the literature that utilization of PEF or a combination of a pulsed electric field (PEF) and ultrasounds (US) can facilitate dehydration processes and improve the quality of dried products even better than the application of thermal methods such as blanching. The aim of the study was to evaluate the quality of red bell pepper subjected to freeze-drying preceded by blanching or PEF or US treatment applied in a single and combined mode. Furthermore, the freeze-drying was preceded by shock freezing or vacuum freezing performed inside the freeze-dryer as a result of pressure drop during the first stage of freeze-drying. All of the analyzed technological variants enhanced the drying kinetics when compared to the intact material. Freeze-dried bell pepper subjected to non-thermal pretreatment exhibited higher vitamin C, total phenolic and carotenoids content than blanched material despite the fact that blanching reduced drying time the most compared to all other analyzed methods.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pre-treatment in ethyl alcohol for 5, 15, 60 and 180 s with the application of ultrasound on the course of convective drying and properties of carrot tissue directly after the treatment and after the drying process. The treatment in ethanol resulted in loss of mass, increase of dry matter, ethanol conductivity, extractivity of carotenoids with a slight effect on the colour of carrot tissue after the treatment. The utilization of ultrasound during immersion in ethanol contributed to additional increase of conductivity of ethanol, and extractivity of carotenoids. The immersion in ethanol virtually did not affect the drying kinetics, which can be explained by the increase of shrinkage of the tissue in relation to the untreated dried tissue. Despite the lack of the influence on the drying course in the ethanol-immersed carrot, an increase of the carotenoid content (up to 135%) and the rehydration ability (up to 19%) was noted with the simultaneously unchanged colour of dried carrot in comparison to untreated dried material, which indicates the possibility to improve the quality of dried carrot after immersion in ethanol.

Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25051078. [PMID: 32121055 PMCID: PMC7179141 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25051078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2020] [Revised: 02/23/2020] [Accepted: 02/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Apple slices of the Elise variety were previously osmo-dehydrated in erythritol, xylitol, and sucrose for 2 h. In some parts of the experiment, 30 min of ultrasound pre-treatment (US) were applied. Afterwards, fruit samples were dried by convective (CD), microwave-vacuum (VM), and a combined method (CD/VM, mix two of them). The main aim of the research was to characterize an impact of osmotic dehydration, sonication pre-treatment, and drying method on the physicochemical properties of the dried apples. The use of sugar alcohols (xylitol, erythritol) in the production of dried apples did not badly affect the taste of the obtained dried products; it enabled a noticeable cooling/refreshing effect felt in the mouth when consuming a snack, and enabled the production of dried snacks with lower calorific value. Polyol residues in the product were at a level that was safe for consumers. The most popular convective drying was long lasting, whereas the VM drying method allowed for the shortest drying time, amounting to 76 min; moreover, additional application of ultrasounds reduced this time to 36 min. The combined drying method allowed the total duration of the process to be reduced 2–4.5 times. Ultrasound applied during osmotic dehydration did not significantly affect attributes of the descriptive sensory analysis for the obtained dried apples. The best hygroscopic properties, ensuring the storage stability of the dried product, showed dried apples previously osmo-dehydrated in erythritol and sucrose solutions.

Abstract
A lot of effort is put to decrease the energy consumption of drying. This effect might be achieved by shift of a drying technology e.g. from a hot-air to a microwave-vacuum method. Moreover, an unconventional pre-treatment such as ultrasound or pulsed electric field may modify a cellular tissue, what influences drying kinetics of plant tissue. The aim of the study was to analyse the quality of microwave-vacuum dried, osmodehydrated (OD) cranberries processed by the means of blanching and ultrasound (US) or blanching followed by pulsed electric field and sonication (PEF + US) in comparison to traditionally treated material. Physical, chemical and sensorial properties of cranberry fruits were assessed. What is more, the impact of aforementioned unconventional treatments on the kinetics of microwave-vacuum dried cranberries was studied. Microwave-vacuum drying process was very short (25-38 min) in comparison to convective drying, which lasted several hours (13.2 h). Most of the samples subjected to US and PEF + US treatments before OD and drying were characterized by similar or a higher amount of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, anthocyanins and flavonoids, and better colour and taste, as compared to cut osmodehydrated cranberry fruits subjected to convective drying (reference samples).
